St. Monica was a devout Catholic mother who was married to an abusive and unfaithful pagan husband. Her son, Augustine, had a misspent youth and that followed him into his younger adult years. Monica endure the heartache and prayed constantly for her two men. Eventually her prayers were answered and both converted to Catholicism. St. Augustine went on to become one of the greatest theologians of all time.
